Flashback Time!

Details: My card is 6” x 6”. The card base is made from Neenah Card Stock 80#. If you never worked with Neenah paper you are missing out on a great product and so reasonably priced in the M5D Store.

The filigree mat is from the Silhouette Store. What I did was size it to fit on the pink mat and layered the image on the filigree mat. Then I used the print and cut feature. I colored the flowers on the image using Copic markers (RV04 & RV06). The leaves and birds were colored using Promarkers (Olive Green, Pear Green, Pastel Blue, Azure, True Blue, Canary Yellow, Peach, and the Blending marker).

I used papers from my stash for the flowers, leaves, and pink mat. The flowers were punched from the Retro flower punch in three sizes. The butterflies were punched using a Martha Stewart punch. Beads and Rhinestones are from my stash. Then I added clear Wink of Stella glitter brush to the birds, flowers, leaves, & the tree branch on the image. Everything is held together with the Best Glue Ever (name of glue). I accidently found this glue online and just had to try it. I love it because if you get glue where it shouldn’t be you just rub it away and its NON-TOXIC!

I hope you get a chance to go over to the M5D Blog to see all the other awesome creations. Thank you for taking the time to stop in on my blog.

About Me

I am 70 years old and married to my best friend . I have 4 grandsons 20, 16,10, 7). I'm retired and thats when my paper crafting days began. I began using my computer as my main tool to make paper crafts. I love drawing my own templates for gift bags and boxes. In 2008 I bought a Cricut die cutter and became hooked. Then I started making my own greeting cards and now most of my crafting time goes to making cards. I never dreamed that I would love something as much as I love making cards. Now I own a Brother Scan 'N Cut cutting machine and it is amazing. I love how it cuts the most intricate of cuts. Crafting just became more fun!
